Press Release Summary:
Available in 600 and 1,200 V breakdown voltages, SiC ZERO RECOVERY(TM) Schottky Diodes come in D2, D3, TO-220, TO-247, and SOT-227, as well as hermetic TO-257, TO-254, and TO-258 packages. Configurations include single discrete, multi-die discrete, and center-tap devices. Units offer switching speed up to 500 kHz and are rated at 175°C. Switching losses are nearly eliminated resulting in 3-7% reduction in PFC power consumption.
Original Press Release:
APT Announces Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky Diodes
Bend OR..... Advanced Power Technology (NASDAQ: APTI) is pleased to announce it's new product line of SiC ZERO RECOVERY(TM) Schottky Diodes in plastic and hermetic packages. Packages include D2, D3, TO-220, TO-247, and SOT-227, as well as hermetic TO-257, TO-254, and TO-258 packages. Available in 600V and 1200V breakdown voltages, configurations include single discrete devices, multi-die discrete devices, and center-tap devices.
In addition to discrete devices, APT has combined these SiC ZERO RECOVERY(TM) Schottky Diodes with our latest POWERMOS 7® IGBT to create "combi's" for higher efficiency converters.
Power Modules and other custom designs using the SiC ZERO RECOVERY(TM) Schottky diodes are also available.
Key Features
o Faster switching speed compared to silicon diodes, up to 500 kHz, allowing smaller EMI filter and other passives.
o Switching losses nearly eliminated resulting in 3%-7% reduction in PFC power consumption.
o High thermal conductivity resulting in lower operating temperature enabling smaller heat sink to be used for compact designs.
o Rated at 175°C for higher temperature operation or enhanced reliability at lower temperatures.
o Extremely low leakage at elevated temperature due to higher band gap.
o Easy paralleling due to negative temperature coefficient
o 600V to 1200V breakdown available.
o Power Modules and custom products available, advancedpower.com/PressRoom/NewProducts/default.aspx
Applications
Applications for these devices include Power Factor Correction (PFC), Switch-mode Power Supplies, Motor Controls, Uninterruptible Power Supplies and Inverters. Hermetic parts are used in Aerospace and Military applications or other harsh environmental applications. Parts are available with and without Mil-Prf-19500 type screening.
Data sheets are available to assist the designer, describing the features and benefits of these new SiC Schottky Diodes in greater detail. These may be downloaded from APT's website at advancedpower.com or obtained from the factory.
Availability
Samples are available now as well as high volume production.
